Up on the Sun: The Podcast, with Landmine Marathon, Hot Snakes, Lee Fields, and More

In this week's installment, we speak with Phoenix-based metal band Landmine Marathon about being handpicked by Metallica to play the Orion Music and More Festival in New Jersey, and hear a brand new tune from the band's upcoming EP "Bastard Child."

We also listen to tunes from rockers Hot Snakes, hardcore legends Bad Brains, a country classic from Kris Kristofferson, spacey hip-hop soul from THEESatisfaction, string-laden soul from Lee Fields and the Expressions, and a power-pop rocker from Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo (listen for those Nels Cline-guitar bits, too).
